Let us know your preferred method of payment (cash is easiest) and price your books in simple denominations ($10, $15 etc). Please collect money and unsold books by 2.30 Sunday afternoon. OBAN 06 is the title of nzepc’s online poetry anthology, building 21-23 April 2006 as part of the BLUFF 06 poetry symposium in Southland. Bluff’s famous Oyster Festival happens over the same weekend. Bring a poem on a disk to any of the symposium events OR email your contribution to [email protected] between 21-23 April. We aim to build a local and international poetry anthology over three days, launching Sunday 23 April in Oban on Rakiura (Stewart Island). We welcome your poem. We’d like it to engage with time and place, transience and duration, memory and forgetting, coming and going, poetry and oysters – any or all of the above. If you could see this jet fire-seeded sky, chill here with me on a plastic chair on the veranda, we'd hear Bluff hum while lines of sodium and magnesium bridge and wharf lights bleed to black, inexactly as on other nights, other verandas, another port - a kauri pew, wings on the sill of an inside-out lit window, scrying the dark insistent stars, fireflies - we have talked of poetry. Cilla McQueen. ‘Antiphony (Letter to Peter Olds)’ Anthology compilers: Brian Flaherty, David Howard, Michele Leggott, Cilla McQueen and nzepc team Submission guidelines • work should be your original composition • if it has been published elsewhere, please include acknowledgement and publication details • the compilers reserve the right to copy-edit contributions before uploading • copyright for individual contributions to the anthology remains with the author WORDS AND PLACES a workshop for BLUFF 06 • Saturday 22 April, 9.30 am-12 noon In the tradition of the collective poem and online anthology put together during FUGACITY 05 in Christchurch, you are invited to attend and contribute to the BLUFF 06 symposium workshop. • Components There are various components to the exercise we’ll be doing. The first two are: 1/ a poem in a language other than English, with interlinear literal translation and notes. 2/ an anonymous poem in English. For the rest, you’ll have to wait and see. Please bring along pen, paper and anyone else you think might like to spend the morning writing and talking. • Results The end result, by Saturday noon, should be one or more poster-poems for display and impromptu reading. After due consideration, you may wish to type up your poem to be posted to the nzepc online anthology being launched next day in Oban at the final reading of the symposium. • How can you help? You can send us a poem. Either one of your own, in which case you would have to agree to allow other people to play variations on it. Or, alternatively, those of you who are fluent in – or have studied – another language (or languages) could email me a poem laid out as an interlinear text, with the original above and an English translation under each line (as in the example below). Footnotes on contentious points, double-entendres etc. would also be helpful. Please provide a phonetic transcript if it’s written in a non-Roman script. What kinds of poem should you choose? Well, up to you. Fairly short ones, up to a page in length. Poems which interest you, or which you find challenging in some way. Something, in the case of non-English poems, which is out of copyright. The greater the variety, the more interesting the workshop will be. – Jack Ross [email protected] • Example of a poem laid out as an interlinear text Cors de Chasse Hunting Horns Notre histoire est noble et tragique Our story is noble and tragic Comme le masque d’un tyran Like a tyrant’s mask Nul drame hasardeux ou magique No dangerous or magic drama Aucun détail indifférent No pointless detail Ne rend notre amour pathétique. Renders our love pathetic. Et Thomas de Quincey buvant And Thomas de Quincey drinking L’opium poison doux et chaste The sweet and chaste poison of opium A sa pauvre Anne allait rêvant went on dreaming of his poor Anne Passons passons puisque tout passe Lets go let’s go since everything passes Je me retournerai souvent I will return often Les souvenirs sont cors de chasse Memories are hunting horns Dont meurt le bruit parmi le vent Whose noise dies amid the wind – Guillaume Apollinaire Notes: l.5. pathétique (adj.) – in the (older) sense of an excess of feeling. PRESENTATIONS FOR BLUFF 06 Hilary Chung and Jacob Edmond. Chinese Poet on a Kiwi Passport: Yang Lian’s New Zealand Poems How do you write exile in a land that has given you political shelter but is incomprehensible to the life of your imagination? What happens to your poetics when the exotic is suddenly where you live and feels like another death each time you step out the door? And how does any of this translate into the language that is doing its best to host you but must perform a double estrangement to understand why you have become a ghost? Yang Lian’s post-Tiananmen Square poems walk out into an unreal city on an isthmus of volcanoes and foetid hothouse decay, fearing multiple failures of memory in themselves and in others. Martin Edmond.

    A Survey of Recent New Zealand Writing TREVOR REEVES O achieve any depth or spread in an article attempt• ing to cover the whole gamut of New Zealand writing * must be deemed to be a New Zealand madman's dream, but I wonder if it would be so difficult for people overseas, particularly in other parts of the Commonwealth. It would appear to them, perhaps, that two or three rather good poets have emerged from these islands. So good, in fact, that their appearance in any anthology of Common• wealth poetry would make for a matter of rather pleasurable comment and would certainly not lower the general stand• ard of the book. I'll come back to these two or three poets presently, but let us first consider the question of New Zealand's prose writers. Ah yes, we have, or had, Kath• erine Mansfield, who died exactly fifty years ago. Her work is legendary — her Collected Stories (Constable) goes from reprint to reprint, and indeed, pirate printings are being shovelled off to the priting mills now that her fifty year copyright protection has run out. But Katherine Mansfield never was a "New Zealand writer" as such. She left early in the piece. But how did later writers fare, internationally speaking? It was Janet Frame who first wrote the long awaited "New Zealand Novel." Owls Do Cry was published in 1957. A rather cruel but incisive novel, about herself (everyone has one good novel in them), it centred on her own childhood experiences in Oamaru, a small town eighty miles north of Dunedin -— a town in which rough farmers drove sheep-shit-smelling American V-8 jalopies inexpertly down the main drag — where the local "bikies" as they are now called, grouped in vociferous RECENT NEW ZEALAND WRITING 17 bunches outside the corner milk bar.

  • Ka Mate Ka Ora: a New Zealand Journal of Poetry and Poetics
    ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 4 September 2007 Poetry at Auckland University Press Elizabeth Caffin Weathers on this shore want sorts of words. (Kendrick Smithyman, ‘Site’) Auckland University Press might never have been a publisher of poetry were it not for Kendrick Smithyman. It was his decision. As Dennis McEldowney recalls, a letter from Smithyman on 31 March 1967 offering the manuscript of Flying to Palmerston, pointed out that ‘it is to the university presses the responsibility is falling for publishing poetry. Pigheaded and inclined to the parish pump, I would rather have it appear in New Zealand if it appears anywhere’.1 Dennis, who became Editor of University Publications in 1966 and in the next two decades created a small but perfectly formed university press, claimed he lacked confidence in judging poetry. But Kendrick and C. K. Stead, poets and academics both, became his advisors and he very quickly established an impressive list. At its core were the great New Zealand modernist poets. Dennis published five books by Smithyman, three by Stead and three by Curnow starting with the marvellous An Incorrigible Music in 1979.2 Curnow and Smithyman were not young and had published extensively elsewhere but most would agree that their greatest work was written in their later years; and AUP published it. Soon a further group of established poets was added: three books by Elizabeth Smither, one by Albert Wendt, one by Kevin Ireland. And then a new generation, the exuberant poets of the 1960s and 1970s such as Ian Wedde (four books), Bill Manhire, Bob Orr, Keri Hulme, Graham Lindsay, Michael Harlow.

  • Hone Tuwhare's Aroha
    ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 6 September 2008 Hone Tuwhare’s Aroha Robert Sullivan This issue of Ka Mate Ka Ora is an appreciation of Hone Tuwhare’s poetry containing tributes by some of his friends, fans and fellow writers, as well as scholars outlining different aspects of his widely appreciated oeuvre. It was a privilege to be asked by Murray Edmond to guest-edit this celebration of Tuwhare’s work. I use the term work for Tuwhare’s oeuvre because he was brilliantly and humbly aware of his role as a worker, part of a greater class and cultural struggle. His humility is also deeply Māori, and firmly places him as a rangatira of people and poets. It goes without saying that this tribute acknowledges the passing of a very (which adverb to use here – greatly? hugely? extraordinarily?) significant New Zealand poet, and the first Māori author of a literary collection to be published in English. No Ordinary Sun was published by Blackwood and Janet Paul in September 1964. In September 2008, it is an understatement to say that New Zealand Māori literature in English has spread beyond its national boundaries, and that many writers, Māori and non-Māori, stand on Tuwhare’s shoulders. Having the words ‘ka mate’ and ‘ka ora’ together in this journal’s title, terms borrowed from New Zealand’s most famous poem, the ngeri by the esteemed leader and composer Te Rauparaha, feels appropriate for New Zealand’s most esteemed Māori poet in English. Tuwhare’s poetic – regenerative, sexually active, appetitive, pantheistic myth-referencing, choral-solo, light and shade, regional-personal, historical-immediate, high aesthetic registers mixed with popular vocals, class- conscious, ideologically aware, traditional Māori intersecting with contemporary Māori in English – captures the mauri or life-force and the dark duende of Te Rauparaha’s haka composition as it springs from the earth stamped in live performance.
